No need...just let Bill Cosby's voice from one of his old humor albums
guide you during your panic:

        (slow, deep voice from the back of Cosby'y's mind)
"Turn in the direction of the skid" 
    
        (Cosby's high-pitched yelling at his thought)
"HUH?!?  What kind of advice is that?!?  Sounds like if someone throws you
a left hook, you lean into it!

        (deep voice again)
"Trust me"




Anyway, it works for me in my rear-wheel drive... :>

(I *think* it is from "Why is there Air?" or "$100 Car".  It's been too long
since I heard it - except when I find myself in a skid...then I hear it loud
and clear!)
